- the receiving antenna arrangement can be significantly smaller, so that it just receives enough energy of the reflected signal to achieve the desired signal Processing and evaluating quality. In this way, a respective minimum size of the transmitting antenna arrangement and receiving antenna arrangement can be selected in order to make the filling level radar antenna arrangement as compact as possible, which enables a space-saving construction of the filling level radar antenna arrangement.

- Hom radiator is an antenna for microwaves from one shape to another
- Exponential funnel or a hollow cone approximated metal body i.e. one Exponential line, which is often fed via a waveguide.
- Aperture emitters usually have the shape of a waveguide that gradually widens to the Hom. The larger the geometric dimensions of the active surface of the Hom radiator compared to the wavelength, the more the radiated power is concentrated, which results in a high guideline factor. For this reason, the broadcast and / or
